Matthew Scott brings real catch-and-hit upside to Lamar
Matthew Scott is a freshman catcher at Lamar listed at 5-foot-11, 225 pounds and brings an intriguing left-handed bat/right-handed throw profile. His high school line included a .326 average, .540 on-base percentage, 14 hits, 17 runs, five doubles, one triple, seven steals and eight RBIs in 18 games, which hints at more than just a typical backstop build. Scouting chatter calls him a longtime underrated left-handed hitter with power who can also catch, making him the kind of grinder who could fit well on a roster that values offensive upside behind the plate.
